What happened to the deluxe hubcaps? They look much nicer thand the standard ones. Also where's the fringe on the surrey top? Top looks pretty plain, but maybe that's what your client wanted?
 
Amazing job on this car. Inspiring. Could you please give abit more details about the engine upgrade. There isn’t much info on the 540ccconversion kit, and it looks like you’ve done more than just put the kit anda performance cam. Did you increase the valves size and if so to how much? Whatcam is actually the performance cam? Did you measured the engine HP to be24.5Hp and how does the car drive with the modified engine?
 
hi, a fantastic job done on the Fiat Jolly, love the finished colour.
we have just finished a fiat 500 in the same Blue.
We have a fiat jolly in now for restoration. Our customer would like the car finished in the original Coral colour. unfortunately we are struggling to find a colour code for this colour, wondered if you were able to help at all?
cheers
 
Superb restoration---a credit to everybody who worked on the car. just for interest though, how much did the restoration cost? Over in the UK having anything re-chromed costs an arm and a leg---and takes a long time. To have every nut and bolt cleaned and then re-zinc coated would also be extremely expensive.
Lastly, is the owner of the vehicle planning to actually drive and use the vehicle or is it going to be consigned to a 'collection', hardly ever used and only very rarely brought out. cars are designed to be USED!
